My truck had the rumble strip shutter last fall. Dealer diagnosed a torque converter and replaced. Well now, 1200 miles later at 21,000 total, she’s doing it again. Disappointed to say the least. I absolutely love my truck, I love the way it looks, I really love the 6.6 gas engine, 10 speed is smooth. This is truly the only problem I’m having. Are there an aftermarket options? All my friends are telling me to consider Ford or Dodge…I bleed GM that just won’t work for me. Any thoughts? 2024, still under 22,000 miles. Pretty easy life, does haul between 8 and 10,000 pounds once in a while.

100% my biggest complaint. even down hilll...it wont coast. my fathers 6 spd truck will though.

18k on the best truck Ive ever owned and ive experienced a few things i thought might be of interest. Rear end "clunk" at slow speeds. Same thing ( i think) Pryme had on his truck. Leaf spring bushings. Secondly and more important. From day one, this thing would never coast. You were either accelerating or decelerating. You also had to HOLD it at a red light with the brake. She always wanted to go. Recently, it developed a "shudder" going up hills. Almost like a rumble strip. Its also a PIG on MPG. My fathers 6.6 gas 6 spd does way, way better. First the dealer diaged a misfire. Drove it again and still noticed the shudder. This time its a new torque converter, which to my mind really adds up with everything ive felt and most of it since day 1. Trailer lights and brakes are intermittent as hell. They replaced the whole plug assembly. We'll see. Its been an awesome truck otherwise. Can't wait to get it back. Towed a boat from upstate NY to Key West and back last fall. It did awesome!

yup, same here. i mainly hear it backing out of my drive way because i never hit the bump perfectly straight on. hitting it quartering makes it worse. i never hear it cruising down the road

pryme i have the same exact noise. i thought it was the receiver moving around in the hitch. took that out and still there. shaking the truck by hand is all it takes. funnily enough never noticed it until after i had it fluid filmed

awesome thank you. its pretty weak from the factory

so far so good with the dueller ascent at. quiet ride. semi aggressive look. 3 peak snow rated and low rolling resistance

well. put discoverer at3s on. they were quiet, but sqaure lol. roadforce in the 50s. theyre also discontinued. so went with the replacement. cooper strongback. HATE em. loud as hell and lost considerable mpg. theyre coming off and getting listed. ordered a set of bridgestone dueller a/t. hoping for a quieter ride

tried to do this, but discoverer at3 are NLA. Going with discoverer stronghold. Looks promising, hope it isnt noisy.

i feel it on my 24 gas 10 spd. reminds me of the dfm on my old 1500. just a tiny hesitation/shudder while accelerating before it downshifts. cruising at 45mph lets say.

true, but I guess my point was more this. It will pull it. ittl probably pull it fine. We used to tow the same rig with a 2007 6.0 gas 2500. Truck was a turd. But, it stopped well and handled the weight well. In the big scheme of things that's what matters most. The "that wont pull it, you need a diesel" logic is silly to me. The diesel will clearly tow it quicker and the exhaust brake can be handy. But is that worth over $10k? To some sure to me no. The 6.6 gas tow's really, really well. The 6spd is fine (we have both 6 and 10 now). We were having the same debate in 2007 and still managed to tow our rig literally all over the country with that little 6.0. Everybody forgets what we used to get done without 1000ft lbs of torque. Carry on.

dont over think it. we tow our race rig (9000lb of boat, 2k steel trailer) with a 6.6 6sp gas. It does just fine. Would a duramax tow it faster? Sure. But so what? lol

those look awesome. thats going to be what i do. thanks for the pic man

great looking truck congrats!

the Michelins that came on both my 24 and my dads 21 are great on the highway but freakin terrible in the snow/dirt. planning on a set of E rated discoverer at3s this fall.
